Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with candidiasis. But I didn't feel itchy myself. My discharge has always been red. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello: First and foremost, it is essential to eliminate the causes that lead to recurrent vaginal candidiasis, while shortening the treatment duration and employing multiple different treatment methods simultaneously. Local treatment can involve using traditional Chinese herbal medicine for fumigation and sitz baths, followed by medication insertion into the vagina and topical application of antifungal ointment. Local treatment can be performed throughout the menstrual cycle, with medication cessation during menstruation and focused treatment after the menstrual period ends. Oral itraconazole, 200 mg per dose, once daily after meals, for three consecutive days. This treatment should be continued for 1 to 2 months. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
